"Does Lead Have a Connection to Autism? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10536388/
This meta-analysis showed significantly higher Pb levels in all three types of biological material in cases than in controls, suggesting a higher body Pb burden in autistic children. Thus, environmental Pb exposure could be related to the genesis of autism.
There used to be a business catalog book called “yellow pages”. Now there are map applications, price comparison sites, customer review sites, and keyword search engines. All of those make advertisements unnecessary.

When feudalism was the old way, and human rights and freedoms were new, they were literally conserving the old way. The name was technically true.
Anyway, my point: Don't let enemies commandeer language with their newspeak where nothing means anymore what it apparently means and used to mean. If we agree to call them conservatives now, some literal-minded centrists (or whatever they are) will be fooled into voting them. We should repeat "that name is a lie, their actions are alt-right authoritarian". It's a mistake to go along with the lie and write on a map "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" or "Gulf of America".
Do we have a technical term for “fuck you, I’ve got mine”? Some opposite of socialism? Selfish?
In other "news", water was wet today.
Calling alt-right authoritarian regressives/reactionaries "conservatives" bothers me. It's like "Damn those democracies and republics, like North Korea", and "Nazis were nationalists and socialists - it's in the name".
Conservatism is being wary of change and sticking to what works. Like not fucking up the climate.

Open source, open training set?
Owned by a company owned by billionaires, many of whom seem to like political manipulation in a certain direction.
Not a trusted party to do that.
Most cameras have native 4:3 aspect ratio. You may want to check the settings and crop later if needed.
To my knowledge, Samsung started this by calling "local display shaped" aspect ratio as "full". To find the native one without reading the specs, hold the camera still and see which setting includes the most view.
I see it as a supernormal stimulus: women's bodies are less hairy than men's, so a hairless body is the most feminine. Or, the young are less hairy than the old, so hairlessness is the most youthful.
There's optimal cheap and too cheap. Someone always wants to be the cheapest in its class, and they'll compromise on quality to get there.
I've owned several recumbent trikes like that one, all of which lifted the inner wheel in sporty driving below my preferred speed.
At which sideways acceleration will Aptera roll over? A heavy battery between the front wheels will help somewhat.
Google Gmail now filters email from EU to spam, which is deleted after one month
I received mail from eures.europa.eu to Gmail for years before Google’s new “be evil” act.
Ban Google in EU. Don’t let citizens use enemy services in a cold war.

Rikkaiden veronalennukset eivät lisää talouskasvua tai työllisyyttä
Major reforms reducing taxes on the rich lead to higher income inequality but do not have any significant effect on economic growth, says new LSE research.
Wikipedia: Verojärjestelmä # Veronalennuksien vaikutus verotuottoon
Vuonna 2020 tehdyssä London School of Economicsin julkaisemassa tutkimuksessa ei löytynyt näyttöä siitä, että rikkaille kohdennetut veronalennukset lisäisivät talouskasvua tai työllisyyttä. Tutkimus perustui kahdeksantoista OECD-maan tietoihin 50 vuoden ajalta.
Paljonko sinun rahaasi on Yhdysvalloissa? Tarkista sijoitustesi painotus.
Kauan omistamani rahaston painotus näyttää järkyttävältä, kun katson sitä ensimmäistä kertaa vuosiin. Erityisesti pistää silmään UnitedHealth Group Inc, jonka kirjoituspöytämurhaaja-toimitusjohtaja tuli ammutuksi äskettäin, ja kansa hurrasi.
Passiivisena sijoittajana omat rahat unohtuvat vääriin käsiin, kun pankki ei muistuttele maailmanpoliittisen tilanteen muuttumisesta.

Share EU where? By sharing there, you submit to shadow ban while giving credence to propaganda.
Black box feed shaping is sneaky propaganda, making undesirable messages effectively unseen. We shouldn't submit to it, or give credence to it.
European citizens' media feeds in the control of a hostile country enables the slow, strategic destruction of Europe by trillions of unnoticeable manipulations.
Destruction of OkCupid as an attack against its liberal-skewed user base
The destruction of OkCupid by Match Group looks like a politically motivated attack against the minorities and intellectual power users who used to flock there.
OkCupid used to be the best place to match diverse people.
They crowdsourced thousands of multiple choice questions from which you built your search filter:
The match results were factored into friendship, dating, and sex. "Friendship" contained ethics and communication style, so it also worked for business partnerships.
Then Match Group bought it.
For a while they let it be, but then they:
Enshittified public toilet user experience (slightly fictional)
It cheats you in through a back door, looking like an ad-covered kiosk. The main entrance is on the other side.
In stalls, there are two screens playing ads, sound coming from the one you're facing.
Toilet paper brands advertise on dispensers, all brands owned by the same conglomerate.
Softest toilet paper has printed portraits of the toilet company's political enemies.
Facial recognition measures usage, you pay at exit.
Exiting after 5 minutes is expensive, but a monthly plan is cheaper.

Washer estimated "1 minute left", took 13 minutes to finish
The whole wash was estimated 72 minutes when it started.
It weighs the clothes by inertia in the beginning, I didn't overload, and the water (hot and cold) comes in fast through thick pipes, so there's no excuse for this.
How dumb must the program be to estimate one minute left in the beginning of the rinse cycle with two rinses and a spin cycle to go?
The building and presumably the machine were made 2018, and the maintenance log on the side says many repairs have been made since, so the software must have been updated many times already.
Copy-pasting images to Lemmy in Firefox converts jpeg to png. Is this a Lemmy bug?
I just made a post copy-pasting images from another tab. All jpegs became pngs, for example 1.3MB became 6.4MB.
If I save the image first, then upload to Lemmy, it stays as a jpeg. What causes the pointless converting when copy-pasting? Can it be stopped from happening?
